I am. I do oil changes on my cars and family member cars every 6 months regardless of miles. I don't care for the cost so it's ok if i'm "wasting money". I like piece of mind and i'm OCD. I just dumped my 2800 mile motul oil, (which is going to BS right now). I'll be dumping this new motul oil...

I take care of all my family members cars for oil changes. My parents, my brothers etc. For their cars, i usually just tell them to buy a good synthetic that's on sale online. Then either a bosch or a M1 filter. I just did my mom's mazda 2 yesterday. It calls for 0w20 so i used pennzoil...

C7 z06 (weekend car) Out: Motul eco-lite d1g2 5w30 w/m1-113a filter In: Motul x-clean dexos 2 5w30 w/m1-113a filter

Originally Posted by SlavaB I've tried both EP and vanilla M1, 5w30 and 5w20 in my Kia and both times it felt sluggish. Try Magnatec 5w30 next time, I'm quite sure you'll like it I agree with this. I ran this in my brothers car and yeah probably placebo but the engine felt silky smooth...

Both are equally bad. Obviously if you daily drive a car it's going to have a lot of wear and tear. And if you have a garage queen, then chances are you're going to get hiccups every now and then. Maybe not as much, or at all even, if it's a brand new car, but if you got a used car that is at...

2012 mazda 2 Out: castrol edge 0w20 w/bosch 3300 filter In: pennzoil platinum 0w20 w/bosch 3300 filter

Quote EFE has new MB 229.52 specifications which is very similar to 229.51, just bit more stringent on oxidation. So if you had to make the choice for a dexos 2 oil between the castrol C3 or the EFE, you would go EFE then right? I already got the oil today btw lol. Just gotta go buy my...
